Fair enough protest against something you feel strongly about but you are doing no favours to most of the tax paying public by desecrating memorials, Disgusting. The bloke who's dad is in pink floyd should be battered with a plank, and I'm the bloke to do it.

As Portillo said on TV this morning there was the time when students would have have protested on behalf of people such as Liu Xiaobo and Aung San Suu Kyi. Years ago they expressed solidarity with the miners and protested against Vietnam.
Yeah it was all good fun on the day but their strategy for protest was lacking somewhat and public support has gone.0 -
Persoanly i think there where people there just to cause trouble, with no interest in what the protest was about.
They where there to cause trouble not to protest.
People with no intetions of going to Uni, gangster wannbies showing off, chavs, thugs and hooligans.0 -

A lot of people hear the word "protest" and will join in just for the fun of it.
Like that part where people were protesting around Prince Charles' car and shouting things like "off with their heads" nothing linked to student fees really, just protesting for protestings sake!0 -
But the freedoms those brave men and women died for include the freedoms to protest.
I've felt for a long time that the memorial service has been losing its power as successive generations die off.
Theres no harm is desecrating anything if its done out of pure ignorance, imo, but do so wilfully on the memory of young men and women who were younger than the protesters themselves and had no chance of secondary let alone higher education is shameful.The dissenter is every human being at those moments of his life when he resigns
momentarily from the herd and thinks for himself.0 -

The police should use CS gas on the protesters then beat them over the heads with their riot sticks. That's what they'd do in China, Russia etc...2010 Lynskey R230

They're making the rest of us students look like anarchy mad d***heads. It seems to change most peoples opinions of us quite dramatically. See above ^^^^.0

Maybe the authorities should have a line of squaddies standing close to the memorials for previous fallen heroes when the next student march tales place?0

Let me say that I do not agree that tuition fees should be put up!!
The aftermath of London's tuition fee protests is being cleaned and repaired but the questions surrounding the police's actions towards the protesters is going to be a long and dirty process which will take a lot longer to fix than any physical damage ever could.
The police in this situation have an extremely difficult job to do and we cant have mass violence taking place all over the capital. Violence I fear was inevitable but isn't it better that it was kept contained.
The police always take all the criticism in these situations yet the protesters never have to take any responsibility for their actions

i think the cost off the protests inc cleanup, police, court costs etc should also be added to the tuition fees, protest fine but what they did , disgusting!0

The bodyguard in the car should have shot that student dead who was poking camilla in the ribs with that stick. That might have made the rest of them realise what a bunch of tw@ts they all are.
The chinese dont put up with that- Tianamhen Square proves that. Just shoot a few of these protesters and then they won't have to worry about their course fees. Simple. :evil:0 -
I was talking of this the other day,If Wiggle went back to handing out haribos and FGS - sorted.0

Two things here.
1/ Not known at this time if it was a "student" .
2/ If this country was like China this thread would have been locked.
Finally thank god the protection team did not go live.bagpuss0 -

A momentary lapse of reason perhaps?0 -

'tis a good reason to keep the loonies off the grass.0

I suspect it would be interesting to do a comparison of "% of the public in favour of the tuition fee rise" between now and four weeks ago.
Perhaps too interesting for certain student bodies.0 -
when i finished school university was only available to people who got a job to fund it or their parents coughed up the fees.
as i see it now a lot of people from the great unwashed have strayed into the wrong arena expecting people like me in the private sector to pay their way for them.
unfortunately my back is already at breaking point with paying for all the non essential public sector workers there is no more room at the inn.0 -
